PROVISION OF NETWORK ACCESS AND NETWORK SERVICES WITHOUT SUBSCRIPTION OR PRE-PAID AGREEMENT
摘要
Methods and apparatus for using a virtual currency module (VCM) to access service networks are described. The VCM may access the service network without the use of a UICC linked to an MNO. Virtual currency may be used to validate subscriber credentials without needing to be linked to a particular MNO. Dynamic subscription assignment may be performed upon registration and validation of credentials with a financial institution. Financial institutions may be used to support and validate virtual currency. Menus may be provided to allow a user to select specific services while accessing the service networks.
